From "For Today", pg 100:
Always shun whatever may make you angry. -- Publilius Syrus
What is it that makes me angry? Life is what it is; there are causes and effects, many of which I am not aware. Do I rage against the tide and the moon? No. I accept them as they are, knowing I can not change them.
But neither can I change people. So why rage at them -- and situations that are beyond my control? There is a better choice. I can consider the circumstances a natural part of life that can be dealt with calmly and rationally; and I can then express my feelings in accordance with that view.
For today: To the extent that I can accept my own and others' shortcomings, I can be free of anger.
